Pittsburgh makes top 10 buyers’ markets in the U.S. for residential real estate

That’s the word from online real estate firm Zillow Inc., which named Pittsburgh one of the top 10 buyers’ markets in the United States for August. It was No. 6 on a list that was topped by Providence, R.I.; Cleveland; and Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh’s Zillow Home Value Index — the average home value for a listing on Zillow in the market — was $124,700 in August, up 8.4 percent from a year ago. It is forecast to increase to $130,716 in 2015.
